A scheme for the improvement of footpaths in Tralee Urban District has been received in my Department in connection with the allocation available to the urban district council out of the Employment and Emergency Schemes Vote and is at present under examination. A decision will issue in the near future.
Grants out of this Vote are determined and sanctioned by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance. The grant for the present year which has already been notified to the council is £3,100, subject to a local contribution of £345.
